"Grace" is a bay tovero filly whose dam is
Lara Likes Diamonds, sired by Like A
Diamond. She is sired by World Champion Sr Reining horse,
The Big Gun, ourBay tobiano Gunner son.The Big Gun is the only breeding
bay tobiano stallion by Colonels
Smokingun (Gunner) and the only
Gunner offspring with all the world
champions in his background and
pedigree. This baby proves that
crossing the best, most desirable
contemporary paint reining bloodlines
works well!
This baby the first foal for Lara Likes
Diamonds. "Tinker" began
her show career in 2008 and was a few
points from her superior before she took
her maternity leave. Not bad
accomplishments for one show season
while pregnant. All in all,
look how it all turned out -
Such a pretty, uniquely marked baby!
Look at the natural eyeliner and white
eyelashes! That babydoll head is
adorable.
You can see the bone size she inherited
from Big Gun as well as the dramatic bay tobiano genetics.
Grace appears to carry both the Overo
and the Tobiano genes, making her a
likely candidate for the Tovero
classification. This combination
has proven statistically to be a high
color producer itself. Several
well respected paint breeders including
Karen Banister, owner of Sacred Indian
one of the premier Tovero bloodlines of
White Harvest Farms, and Clint Haverty,
NRHA Hall of Fame Inductee and breeder,
owner and trainer of multiple world
champion Mark This Spot, have said that
this Tovero pattern type horse
represents an 80% probability of color
production. So not only is this
baby bred with the most desirable paint
reining bloodlines of the day, she has
the markings to potentially throw lots
of color. She is the complete
package!
The Like A Diamond
x Big Gun cross has been very strong and has produced some very
handsome, athletic babies.
